Roadmap

Five phases take Alpaca Universe from an empty repo to a seasonal on-chain economy. The phases are build order, not a public rollout: everything through the Season 0 feature set ships together, live on token launch day. NFT release waves pace supply, never features.

Phase 1 — Identity and basic world

Next.js homepage
Phaser farm scene
Wallet connection
Wallet signature authentication
Player creation
Basic movement and interactions

Phase 2 — Game loop

Energy
One alpaca
Three missions
Wool resource
Inventory ledger
Basic upgrades
Daily missions

Phase 3 — Staking integration

ALPUN token mint
Staking program
Deposit and withdrawal interface
Rust blockchain indexer
Staking projection
Staking-based energy bonus

Phase 4 — Seasons

Seasonal points
Leaderboard
Fixed reward pool
Claim preparation
Token reward claim

Phase 5 — Expansion

Multiple alpacas
Rarities
Cosmetics
Additional maps (Green Meadow → Riverlands → Rocky Peaks
                 → Cloud Valley → Snowy Mountains)
Crafting
Referral system
Guilds
NFT integration beyond Season 0

The world map is introduced gradually — start with one small expandable farm, then reveal new floating-island regions per season. The mistake would be building a large open world immediately.
